Regular meeting time throughout the summer will be from 2 p.m.to 2:45 p.m. each Wednesday from June 7 through August 9. Thursdays. Registration is required and space is limited.

Listening to audiobooks, reading to others, being read to, and reading books on a school reading list all count for reading minutes.
